The family would not do so until the doctor said that indeed she was well and sound. They all complimented Enrique enthusiastically, until at length the boy said:
"All this is due to a kid, and I must go and thank her."
He went to the same place where he had met the kid, but did not see her. In vain he ran about in all directions. But he had not got the ring of Agrajes for nothing.
"Ring," he said, "bring me the kid that was here a short time ago."
And the kid appeared.
"What do you want of me, Enrique?" asked the animal.
"To thank you, and to ask how I may serve you," answered Enrique.
"I see that you are grateful, and I wish you to know who I am. I am called Atala, and am the daughter of Agrajes, the magician. I put my father's ring beside you with the object that you might be able to save your sister."
"I should like to know you in your real form and not in that of a kid."
"Well, here I am," exclaimed Atala.
